I didn't know Sony was making a grill that's suppose to resemble a PS3? I see it has internet connectivity, that must be so you don't hack or modify the grill or Sony will burn your house down, it will all be in there ToS. I hope they don't take the feature of grilling a hotdog away.

Originally posted by baxter00: Granted, I'm not fond of the look either. But if the price is going to be that cheap, or cheaper, it would be worth it to me to get a second console just for media server purposes.

It could have been a great media player. But Sony really messed up and so did Microsoft, both consoles could very well play just about any file format. They however are very limited in what files they can play. You would be better off getting an Android set top box and use XBMC, unless you want to use the PS3's Blu-ray player as well.

Sony does this every gaming generation. How else are they to ensure that their hardware numbers increase? By re-releasing their current generation systems as updated, redesigned? Marketing scam for the stock holders pockets.
